• Step in for the external Business Development team when travel or workload makes client deadlines tight
• Help build and test new tools and processes, lead Lessons Learned meetings, and mentor others
• Act as an expert resource for internal and external customers

• A bachelor’s degree in Life Science, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or another STEM field.
• Hands-on knowledge of bioanalytical processes, especially biomarkers, assay technologies, ligand binding assays, immunogenicity, molecular assays, flow cytometry, PCR, and cell-based assays

• Experience preparing instructional materials, presentations and written documentation
• Background in the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry
